who shut the door in your life. What matters is you know that God can open any door at anytime. After God delivered me from drugs, doors began to open. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would be a jail minister. Then again, why not? My husband was in jail and...

but as growing up my parents left church. I went back to church, but I never stayed in. My ways of living changed: tattoos, piercings, curse, and wearing pants.
Now, as a 22 year old, I wish I could change that. I know I can change my wardrobe, take out my ear piercings, and...

I was praising God for such a wonderful service the day before. My mind was racing, I am not sure I had ever felt so wonderful before. I am not sure how long I spent thanking and praising God, but after awhile I heard the Lord say, "Am I not the Lord? Can I not do better?" I...

my husband was in jail, I found myself sitting on a concrete step. While waiting on drugs and entertaining thoughts of suicide, I came to the conclusion that I was alone in this world. My family had wrote me off, no friends, I was alone. I found looking up and saying these...

I've been saved now for three years, n I still struggle with my flesh,God has brought me from a mighty long way! At times I lose my desire to pray and read the word as I should,and I don't know y this is,but I still press on,I also battle with smoking,can someone help me...

I remember when I was a kid I would hang out at the church everyday listening to music and hanging with church members.Seemed like so much fun we all hung out a lot it was like having a big family. What happened to the good ole days

walked away from it about 15yrs ago. Recently I have prayed back thru to the baptism of the HG! Praising God!💃 It's the most wonderful experience of my life!!! I'm completely & totally in love with Jesus!!! Of course there are silly growing pains. Stuff like I'm 51 & been...

Walking by faith and not by sight is easier said than done. It's amazing how God can still use us to minister to others and build up their faith when we ourselves are going through trying times.
Like everyone, I've experienced disappointment and even as I write I'm having to...

there is NO better feeling in the world than KNOWING this. I know, I know, I know that He loves me. He delivered me from the bondage of this world. He loved me when I was unlovable.... He is with you now, why not talk to Him? Happily His....

My story goes back to high school. Although I wasn't saved, I did my best to read the Bible almost every night. I remember reading the Bible at the family table. God always had his hand on me, and I can remember being in sinful situations and God rescuing me from them. I can...

i was reared in that environment. I am a doctor. In 1992 I went to Africa and worked on people in refugee camps, for 6 months. I paid my own way, and received no financial compensation. There are several million in refugee camps. 6-7 generations in each. Here a generation is 20...

You may be like me and wonder what Maranatha means? It was what the first church after Christ's death, burial and ressurection used to greet each other with. It means Even So Lord, Come. The first church believed that Jesus was going to come to back in their life time. Not only...

where my own mother and father gave up on me. A lifetime of drugs and alcohol will tear up a family. When I called out to the Lord, He delivered me. I am reminded daily, trust in Him. When the Lord opens the door, I go into the jails. One of my favorite things to share can be...

as an Apostolic Pentecostal. As a matter of a fact, I tried to look nothing like one. Let's face it, we all know who "they" are. No makeup, uncut hair and dresses. When the Lord became "real" to me a few years ago, I saw things in way I had never seen them. All I can say is, one...

not many people know what being apostolic pentecostal is. we have pentecostal beliefs but the apostolic comes in on how we present ourselves. being apostolic means not only acting right, but dressing right too. we (girls) don't:
wear pants
wear makeup
wear jewelry
wear...

I have been going to a UPCI church for approximately 10 years with my husband.I quickly noticed the difference in the women at church and the other women but was never convicted about it.No one has ever admonished me for my short hair or dress. Granted,I could not have a...

I am 17 years old i have been in church for 7 years. My famil is not in church right now but God has promised me that they are!!! I went to Brother George Owens church one Sunday night and went to the prayer room and the Holyghost was moving greatly. After that every service i...

My husband and I were baptized in Jesus' name in February. (No Holy Ghost yet, but I know He's coming!) I noticed immediately that every woman there looked different than me, but no one EVER said a word and we felt totally and completely accepted. But God started working on me...

Hi, I'm 15, i've been in the apostolic way since birth, my parents taught me importance of modesty, so I was never wearing pants, only long skirts, mostly calf length denim. My skirts were always full and wide and i loved them, but that changed recently. I was always more...

Lord. This is a random experience. My husband was out of jail and now out of church. Smoking fake is what controlled him this time. I call synthetic weed, fake. The first I noticed is I didn't recognize his spirit. His voice changed, his ways changed. As craziness began to run...

been asked to bring a "gift" to Jesus. Testimony, poem, skit, just something for the Lord. After pondering what I would bring the Lord, it finally came to me last night. Three years ago the Lord had delivered me from a life of drugs and homelessness. My husband was in jail and I...

In the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John where it says to be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, you must know the name!! Jesus is the name. For instance, in High School we learn that Father is a title. Son is a title. Holy Ghost is a title too...

and singing about God. I enjoyed the songs but I assure you that I did not know the God in the songs. Many wrong choices brought me to a concrete step, I was a homeless drug addict. While sitting on a step, I called out to Him..... Jesus answered me that day. Overnight my life...

About 4 or 5 years ago, I found me and my boyfriend at the time, (now my husband) sleeping on my friends couch. Continual thoughts of suicide, nothing will ever change kept creeping upon me. In those days, I questioned if God was really there. One morning in complete despair, I...

I've been in an apostolic church for 11 years this month. But its been about 12 years since I have cut my hair. It is naturally curly and I don't use a lot of heat on it. It's almost to my mid-back. It really hasn't grown much in the past 12 years. I look around at the other...

I just wanted to share a little about my story.
I went to Sunday school with my aunt when I was little so I always had been taught the truth. It wasn't till twelve did I really want to find God for myself. My mom and dad wasn't in church so I wasn't made to go. Well when I did...

I've been in church my whole life, as the son of a preacher, I knew my way around the Bible. At age 12, I had our church anoint my hands for prayer for God to give me a talent to play the piano, and Jesus did just that. Only Jesus likes to show off when he works, he also me an...

Me and my beloved are going out on a date. Our anniversary is this Wednesday. My hard working man has been working out of town, but tonight will drive in for our date. We have been together almost 5 years, married 3. I have to smile, most of our experiences have been on drugs...

He is always there, faithful, able. And will be your strength, your courage. Your mediator, your mentor, our lord. I have to testify he has been doing things that I could never see myself getting pulled out of. He has revealed himself to me, when I was lost. He called, I had...

Nothing is impossible to God. God want's me to have the desires of my heart. God's name is Jesus. In order for me to live eternally with Jesus, I must repent, be baptized in Jesus' name, receive the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues..... :) Talk about living...

To make a long story shorter............. God found me through a woman who after several encounters gave me a bible study in my apartment. That night during the bible study the oneness of God was revealed to me as well as the name Jesus. The Holy Ghost was also revealed in...

I am Pentecostal, I don't always do right. I have bad habits, I sin. Why lie? I'm not the perfect Christian, but I try to live a life pleasing to God. I try and strengthen that bond with him. I have been raised in the church from birth, and given more scriptural training than...

him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
I can witness, there is nothing too hard for the Lord!!!! Be encouraged, call on Him today..... Believe on Jesus for your need today.
I did and I am,
Happily His.....
